AEW has already added serious talent in 2026—but they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
According to a new report from Fightful Select, AEW still has more signings on the way, with a particular focus on expanding the women’s division. While the names haven’t been revealed just yet, sources confirmed:
“There are a number of talent that are signed that haven't been made public.”
In the last few months alone, AEW has brought in Andrade, The Rascalz, Alex Price, Jordan Oliver, Maya World, Hyan, Zayda Steel, and Clark Connors, while it was also confirmed that Tatevik was signed back in Fall 2025. Despite this influx of new talent, it’s being said the signings aren’t tied to additional TV time just yet.
AEW has had a number of high-profile exits since the beginning of 2025. Names like The Righteous, Matt Taven, Abadon, Zak Knight, Leyla Hirsch, Saraya, Rey Fenix, Miro, Powerhouse Hobbs, Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, Mercedes Martinez, and Alex Abrahantes have all wrapped up their time with the company.
With that many departures, it’s clear AEW is actively rebuilding behind the scenes—and more faces are expected to debut soon.
